Summarise the differences between broadcasting and podcasting for the audience and how it may affect the content and structure of a programme.

The main difference between broadcasters and podcasting.

Broadcasters are focused on reaching (new) young audiences,

Podcasts as a way of serving their existing audiences with new and more varied content.

Define and give an example of a commercial and a public service radio broadcaster, explaining the key differences.

Commercial broadcasting overlaps with paid services such as cable television, radio and satellite television. Such services are generally partially or wholly paid for by local subscribers and are known as leased access.

Public broadcasting involves radio, television and other electronic-media outlets whose primary mission is public service. In many countries of the world, funding comes from governments, especially via annual fees charged on receivers.
Explain the identity, mission and purpose of the BBC based on its origins, history and how it is funded.

Mission, values and public purposes. Our mission is "to act in the public interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial, high-quality and distinctive output and services which inform, educate and entertain".
